It cannot be denied, the show is weird this week. The men of The Spoon seem to be caught in the grip of a strange, unusually mellow energy field, gliding through the proceedings in a laconic – for them – fashion, and constantly quoting song lyrics for no apparent reason. Fortunately, Quinton Flynn is there tohelp polish the amorphous humor blobs into diamond-edged zingers, and James Honeyman Smith-Smythe returns to remind us what the "M" in Mtv used to stand for, before it's Legacy was thoroughly Sodomized. Music by Anny Celsi, Lane Steinberg, and Barely Pink.

Experiencing some quasi-hangover after last week's comedic cliff dive, this installment finds the men of The Spoon in a more reflective mood, pondering the slippery, volatile nature of supply and demand, and the odd predicament of those who start out as part of The Solution but eventually go on to perpetuate The Problem. Plus, the gig that saved Rob's life, and the wounds that Thom receive from a giant spider. Sort of. Music by The Spongetones, Continental Drifters, and The Vipers.

The Spoon is always a bit of a high-wire act, and we've bragged in the past of episodes that test the limits of the human attention span, but this week...whoah. Follow, if you will, our fair trio and their special guest Bill Holmes, as they plunge headlong down a rabbit hole of tumultuous, confrontational comedy, laced with a potent dose of What Is This I Don't Even. Any continuity of conversation is purely coincidental, but you know what? Linear thinking is for the weak. Listen up, and be strong. Music by The Crazy Squeeze, Rubber City Rebels, and Boris The Sprinkler

Quinton Flynn sits in as things get meta in the Spooniverse, with 2% jokes as the order of the day, MST3k and Frank Zappa being checked as influences, and suggestions of performing the show solely through subtext and/or song being taken at least semi-seriously. Also, the mainstreaming of pr0n, the pretentiousness of the extra U, the emotional minefield of zoological work, and what were the last names of the Archies, anyway? Music by Odds, The Now, and What The...?
